Shadows
After their game the boys had to walk
On the way home they started to talk
The sun was up high, it shown on their back
They noticed the two boys in front of them were thin and black
One said " I bet if our shadows fought mine would win"
The other looked at him with a snaggletooth grin
They started throwing punches until the sun went out of sight
One said to the other " Now we will never know who won the fight"
